"And you have to call me after every period gets over. Without fail."
"OK mom. Are we done now. You've literally been telling me the same thing a 1000 times. Stop getting paranoid. "

"Oh I'm sorry honey for worrying about my daughter who's going to be going to school for the first time, ever, because her 'paranoid' mother was busy home-schooling her while there were demons chasing her who held her responsible for the crimes of her psychotic husband." Wow. She really needed to get that out of her system. Ranting seemed to help though because my mother was now back to her calm and collected self. " OK let's practice once more" she said. "Go ahead then. " I challenged her. She started with the questions then... The questions that according to her will help me keep my identity a secret.

"Werewolves are..? "
"An exaggerated version of wild dogs", I replied.
"Monsters?"
"A bed time story for getting children to go to sleep"
"Pixies"?
"..are for children who like fairy tales"
I was prompt in my answers. Like I had said we had gone over this more than a 1000 times. So naturally she kept asking.
"Vampires are..? "
"Vampires are vegans who rally for world peace".
She gave me a blank look, making it clear she was in no mood for jokes.
"Relax mom, I was just kidding. Vampires are a myth that only belong in Hotel Transylvania"
"OK then... Tell me about your family now"
"My name is Katherine Reed. I'm 17 years old and was born in Pennsylvania but shifted here to Chicago last year. I was home schooled until now because my mom, being a single parent, was not able to afford it. Now though she has been running her own catering business successfully for 10years and is in a great place to give her daughter all her necessary needs. My father was a soldier who died fighting for his country. "

Reality though was completely opposite.
My real name is Isabella Crawford, daughter of Nadine (mom) and Charles (unfortunately, dad) Crawford. I was born in Texas but mom and I are on the run for ten years now. We are getting chased by the downworld(yes, it exists and so do vampires, demons, angels, warlock, Gods,... You get the idea) because of Charles. Charles was an ordinary mundane, just like you and me, until one day his eyes laid on something that would have been much better if left undisturbed. They call it "Crucifers Journal".

According to legend, Crucifer was the first human being to 'turn'. Turn into what exactly you may ask. No one knows. The only vague idea anyone has is that he was the strongest of them all. He had the powers of all but the weakness of none. Crucifer, originally a scientist in his human life, undertook a lot of hardships to become what he had.

One by one, only by the power of wit, he used to capture immortal beings, drain them of their unique blood and perform experiments on himself. Legend calls him a "Mibrid ".
All the developments he wrote in a journal and after years of suffering he was successful of acquiring the powers of all - Vampires, demons, werewolves, warlocks- however he had one weakness, the girl he loved, Bella. The Gods found crucifer a disgrace, a monster only driven by power. He was immortal so the Gods took the only thing human about him away, his love, Bella. She was made aware of all the crimes he committed and was ready to sacrifice herself for the well being of the future generations. Bella killed herself and left a note blaming Crucifers evilness for her death.

Crucifer could not handle her death. Being a scientist at the end of the day he created a special venom that would kill him. However he wished that someone would carry on with his legacy so he left a dose of his blood and the venom at a special place so only the capable one could find it and one day rule over the world.
The map to this was in his journal, the journal my 'father' found and has been AWOL with it since.

The downworlders want it now, for obvious reasons, and think that mom and I know about it's whereabouts.

In moms defense, she married him when they were 17 so naturally she didn't know that the man she loved would grow to become a power driven vampire who wanted to rule over the world. Mom left him as soon as she could but then news flew around that Charles had fled with crucifers book too and was no where to be found. Demons had found us and attacked us multiple times however mom was trained to fight so the two of us always managed to escape. Charles taught it to her himself saying that she might need it sometime which was exactly what happened. The two of us barely got out the last time and we have been running since.
This is the real me.

She looked satisfied but not completely. However there wasn't any time to assure her. I was already late for my first day of school and I didn't want to be reprimanded in front of everyone when the entire point of mom agreeing to send me to school was that I won't be in the spotlight. At all. So I kissed her goodbye and left. "I promise to stay out of trouble mom! " I screamt and left her standing at the door.
